in the last place they ever wanted to return to, sunyaev discovers they aren't as alone as they thought they were.

my first gpose comic. takes place during the lvl 50 drk quest "the wages of mercy." cw: dehumanizing language in flashback

okay so i did buy a stack of 50 earlier tonight just in case but i’m pretty sure i got stellar astronomer before i ran out of what i had before that.
taking bets on whether i run out of the stock of 500 cunning tisanes i made before 7.3 (i have 14 left) or get my stellar astronomer title first.
i want to go home but the anxiety says with the way this week has been going i’m going to hit an elk again or otherwise get into an accident and die so. guess i’m staying out here.

Extrapolating on this bit of Seanan's thread:

I keep talking a out data and this is stuff I'm talking about tbh. An investor doesn't csre about people gushing on some twitter clone (from their perspective), they just want data

Getting this book on the NYT will be a *phenomenal* data point

Please.
"Gosh, Seanan," you may say, "that sounds false and arbitrary! Why do you want it?"

Because it has cachet. It sounds good to the people who make choices about money and where it goes. Say "our first print novel in years made the NYT" and suddenly they may find funding for a second.

i am making myself pace myself and do like 125k ish per class per zone. i learned from the diadem. granted diadem was old content and they nerfed old stages so i didn’t have timegates or anything to pace myself with. nonetheless.
my final cosmic tasks before i take a break til the next zone are to get min/bot to 250k and to finish my ground supporter mech ops for both sinus/phaenna

everyone should read this 👁️👁️

"You can give someone who relies on SNAP a store-specific gift card...that can only be used to make purchases at Kroger...at Walmart...at Albertson’s — and it will not be counted against them by the SNAP program."
I firmly believe, with every single atom of my being, that instead of amplifying unreliable information that discourages helping, our focus as 42 million Americans face hunger must be on providing factual information that enables people to help.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS THE GAME TELLS ME I HAVE LESS THAN A MINUTE REMAINING TO FINISH THE MISSION.

i use innovation.

i pray.

i hit hasty touch.

IT GOES THROUGH! THE QUALITY BAR TURNS RED FOR MAX QUALITY ACHIEVED!

WITH MY FINAL 1-2 DURABILITY I USE BASIC SYNTHESIS & FINISH THE CRAFT.

I WIN!!
but wait. i have to be sure. i check the calculations window. NO. an unbuffed basic or hasty touch only gives 375 quality! i will fail by 10! (this mission is 100% or nothing)

i have to use innovation and then throw myself on the mercy of hasty touch’s 60% success rate.
let me set the scene: i have 11 or 12 durability left & 16 CP. i can use ONE quality skill & then i have to finish the craft. i have 385 quality to go. i use 14 CP on observe & get a lucky good proc & get 20 CP back from tricks of the trade. now i have enough CP to use basic touch instead of hasty…
BY THE GRACE OF ONE SUCCESSFUL HASTY TOUCH PROC, I AM A STELLAR ASTRONOMER!
i mean, i'll definitely get it eventually :P the rng has to go in my favor at some point
30 minutes until i can try again..............sighs
the second mission in the chain sucks absolute balls and it's the point i fail at most often followed by the final mission should i happen to succeed on the second lmao
alright my dudes here we go stellar astronomer or bust.
i really hope i one shot this tonight too because i am not about that having to wait an hour to try again life
ONE MISSION REMAINING!!!!!!
2 phaenna missions remaining to get my stellar astronomer title...
at least unlike with sinus my last two are on opposite ends of the eorzean day (12 pm and 12 am) so i should be able to try both every hour
i just finished carpenter by the skin of my teeth and i'm just like SCREAAAAMS
2 phaenna missions remaining to get my stellar astronomer title...
